▶ Your Answer :
Some people argue that many problems are around the world and that the
problems will be solved soon due to an advance of technologies. However, I strongly argue that the most
urgent and critical problem is environmental pollution and that the most critical world-wide problem will
not be solved in our lifetime because no one ensures that the problem is
improved, the problem is getting worse in spite of people’s efforts, and
technologies in this generation are not perfect to solve the problem yet.
First of all,
although many researchers are trying to solve environment problems, the
condition of the earth is getting worse day by day. Even if the state of the environment
becomes better, the effect of pollution would appear later. For example, a
river is polluted because of factories, so government regulated the factories. People
thought that the river was clean and recovered. However, the pollution had a
bad impact on the fish in the river. They have physical handicaps. Like this
example, pollution will continue to affect natural environment and living
things.
Furthermore, many people are polluting the
world continually to gain resources from the earth. This is a serious cause of
the problem. In spite of the effort to reverse the bad situation, people waste
many resources without considering the environment. This offsets the effort of
the researchers and people who try to improve the environment condition. Many
reports show this. The reports say that after 2000’s, people consume resources
more than before. This implies that it is difficult to solve the problem people
face.
Finally,
technologies are not mature enough to solve the problem. Some people argue that
the problem will be solved easily because of new technologies and methods
development. Many people also expect that renewable energy sources, such as wind
power and energy storage equipment, can be a solution. However, these
technologies are now developing and not effective to replace existing
resources. In fact, the amount of the power that is generated from existing
power generators is 10 times more than the power that renewable power can
generate. This cannot fulfill people’s requirement.
There are many
reasons that the most important problem cannot be solved in our lifetime. Some
of these reasons are unexpected results in the future, continuous pollution,
and lack of technology’s effectiveness. For these reasons, I firmly believe
that the most critical problem in the earth will not be improved in near future. |
